Lions To Face Strong Maori Side.

In making five changes from the side that defeated Fiji last Friday in Suva, the NZ Maori side still includes nine current All Blacks in their starting XV and three more on the bench for Saturday

In making five changes from the side that defeated Fiji last Friday in Suva, the New Zealand Maori side still includes nine current All Blacks in their starting XV and three more on the bench for Saturday's clash with the Lions at Hamilton.

One of those on the bench is none other than Carlos Spencer who rugby folk on this side of the world would have seen destroying England a week ago at Twickenham.

Another player that Lions supporters will be familiar with is blind side flanker, replacement, Wayne Ormond who led the Bay of Plenty so well on Saturday.
